The tekin does have some program features the reventon doesn't have (push control, throttle curves, & much finer steps for the settings that are the same), but everything you will actually use on a regular basis is there. The reventon r comes with a program card to change the settings with out a laptop (Hotwire & a laptop are a must for any tekin). You can also get a wifi or Bluetooth card for it so you can change your settings on an iPhone or android from the drivers stand while the car is pulled over in a safe spot on the track. I will caution that reventons have issues with viper, gen2 tekin, & sometimes lrp motors (although I am running an lrp x12 8.5t I did have problems with another one).
Sorry I didn't get you to go ahead & be my guinea pig mashimarowu

Haha good to know that the SP worked out for you. After seeing my bro with the b44.2. I have been dying to get my hand on one myself, but I got enough toys for now. I spent way more on the b4.1 than I should have since my ESC was fried from my stock RTR, but no regrets as my driving style has dramatically gotten better since the time I have been racing 1/8th :P
Maybe in the future if no other good electronics comes out, I will try an SP reventon pro with reedy mach 2 motors?
